<quoted text>When the government mandates that everyone buy something and mandates specifications of that mandated purchase why would any rational logical thinker believe it would not increase in price?

Anything with the name: "Obama & Man-Date" in the same sentence sounds like an azzhole plan.

"She now knows the truth. She admitted:“I have now learned that I was wrong. Very wrong.”When voters fired her boss in the 2010 elections, she had to get another job and that meant she had to shop for health care, too. Three years ago, she got a plan that cost $225 a month with a $2,500 deductible. But then her health care company sent a letter a few weeks ago.“Blue Cross,” she said,“stated my current coverage would expire on Dec. 31, and here are my options: I can have a plan with similar benefits for $647.12 [or] I can have a plan with similar [but higher] pricing for $322.32 but with a $6,500 deductible.”She went on,“Blue Cross also tells me that if I don’t pick one of the options, they will just assume I want the one for $647.… Someone please tell me why my premium in January will be $356 more than in December?”…“And I was excited that previously uninsured people could now get insurance on the open market. But this is not affordable to me.”http://www.catholicvote.org/i-spent-two-years...

$6500 deductible?!?!?!?

I haven't had $6500 worth of healthcare in my entire LIFE!(and I'm not young)

<quoted text>I seriously doubt those figures are correct. Out of pocket amount, maybe?

Ahhhh, the site has changed since last I looked. Previously, when I perused the site I received deductible estimates of up to $12K depending on the plan. Just now I checked and no deductibles are listed, but the cost of a silver plan - 70% of expenses paid - the premium cost is just about $500/month for me. Remember that those 50 and over are charged 3 times the rates.

I could get a better price on my own but somebody has to pay the middleman - in this case, the government!

What are all the poor negros...and white trash going to do.....you know damn well they won't pay for health care....I got a idea they want to go to the emergency room for a cold....take it out of their benefits....or the BIG fat tax refund check they get for kids and not working

Isn't that one of the stipulations of the program? If you don't buy the insurance, the penalty comes off the top of your refund.

Oh, that's interesting! The Kaiser estimator doesn't consider your age, so I got a premium cost for someone younger. What a mess this is!

I just used this link and it asks for age and gives deductibles and premiums. Scroll down the whole page please.http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator...$50,000 annual income, age 60, premiums =$6,592, out of pocket expenses not to exceed $6,350. Total =$12,942 for one person for 2 of the same age ( husband and wife ) you could receive a subsidy of $8,433. Premiums would be $4750 per year, out of pocket not to exceed $12,700. Total $17,450.00 or $1,454.17 (rounded off) a month.Right now I pay $700.00 a month for my wife and me, with a $500.00 deductible, max out of pocket, no co-pays, have prescription, vision and dental and a 90%/10% on say Major care such as a heart attack.I believe obama said, those whose policies are being cancelled can get better on the exchanges.Did they eliminate the Cadillac Plan Tax? If your plan is to good they will tax you more.So if you can get better on the exchanges there must be a limit to how good you are allowed to get without being taxed even more than what the Dems have determined to be good.I guess good has it's limits. Could this be one of the reasons Congress has exempted themselves? They and the Unions have plans that may be considered Cadillac Plans. Maybe mine.
